Certainly EASA is slowly manoeuvring into a position where they will have direct control at a local level. I believe they are already directly approving ATOs operating outside of the EU. At the moment they can only audit a NAA, EASA cannot walk into an ATO of a member country and inspect it. That is what the NAA should do. You could act through a third party such as a lawyer and remain anonymous.
Cologne does have direct oversight of any ATO located outside of the member states.
